ChallengeResponse

This entry tells whether challenge-response should be used when unlocking the PIN.

Normal PUK used to unlock PIN. This is the default value.

Timeout

This entry tells the number of seconds a challenge should be valid when using challenge/response mode.

The smart card will be locked during the operation, since the next call after generating the challenge should be the response. No other application will be able to access the smart card until the timeout is reached or the operation is finished/aborted.
